After two years, one jail-term and one front-page scandal after another, Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil are no longer married. The couple were formally granted a divorce yesterday, six months after papers were filed by Fielder-Civil.

Judge Michael Segal read the divorce decree at the High Court in London. "Fielder-Civil, B" and "Winehouse, A.J", though named, were not present at the hearing.

Winehouse's career was booming when she married Fielder-Civil in Miami in 2007. Six months later he was arrested for assault and sent to jail. He was released in February 2009. Winehouse has meanwhile faced one legal challenge after another, generally stemming from drug use. Fielder-Civil has taken responsibility for introducing his now ex-wife to crack cocaine and heroin.

According to Fielder-Civil's divorce papers, he found living with Winehouse "intolerable". He accused her of adultery, a charge she has not contested.

Winehouse has spent recent months on the Caribbean island of St Lucia, reportedly working on a new album. She is to appear in London next week, where she will stand trial on charges of hitting a fan at a charity ball in 2008.
